Food Addictions Coach
We are certified Food Addictions Coaches and we understand how your mental and emotional health plays a primary role in your relationship with food. In fact, food addiction and drug & alcohol addiction are very similar. It all relates to an emotional and bio-chemical attachment.
You don’t have to be overweight to be a food addict or to eat emotionally. We know if you are a food addict, you use food to numb emotionally. We are well aware of the ups and downs of the cycle: You obsess over the food, the euphoria surges as you eat and then you feel sad, ashamed and sick afterwards. You do this over and over again searching for that bit of relief. When you use food to numb, feelings of guilt and remorse follow and then the unfavorable internal critic takes hold persecuting you for not having the control you think you needed.
You might be trying to manage your eating habits with over exercising, restricting your food intake or going on a “diet”. You might even try using a laxative, throwing up or taking a diet pill to combat the effects. We at IAS know what you really want in your life is likely missing and what you are really doing is searching for it through food. You might be looking for love, acceptance, less stress, fulfillment, purpose or passion but not finding it and the results leave you numbing and escaping with food.
Since abstinence from food is not an option, we confront the issues using a powerful approach to creating a healthy relationship with food and identifying the root cause of your addictive behaviours. Our goal is to move you from “mindless eating” to an effective and more powerful mindful approach to the way you eat.
Our certified food coaches are prepared to provide you with coping methods and behavioral & life changing skills:
- Help you stop using food as a tool to deal with stressors in your life.
- Teach mechanisms to reduce stuffing, over eating, under eating, dieting & restricting.
- Teach you how to handle unhealthy and unsafe relationships with food on both a chemical and emotional level.
- Assist with implementing self-esteem and lifestyle changes
- Nutrition Coaching: Comprehension & selection
- Learn how to spot triggers and what to do about them.
- Learn differences between healthy and unhealthy relationships with food.
- Understanding the difference between dieting and lifestyle choices.
- Understand eating as a punishment.
- Understanding addictions to sugar, caffeine, and energy drinks.
- Exploration of chemical imbalances in the body.
- Teach the difference between eating disorders, emotional eating and food addictions.
We know that cross addiction into habits of disordered eating is very prevalent among recovering alcoholics and addicts. We address food addictions as both part of the addictive cycle and also independent of other addictions.
We are available for private one on one coaching sessions in person – in your home, office or at a location of your choice or electronically through our e-coaching services.
If you or someone you know could benefit from food addictions coaching, please contact us.
